Group I – Legacy Chief and Platinum Chief are allocated first in total priority point (lifetime giving + Season Ticket purchase) order within the group.

Group II – Golden Chiefs and Silver Chiefs are allocated next in priority point order within the group.

Group III – Tomahawks and Warriors are allocated by priority point order within the group.

Group IV – Renegade, Brave and Iron Arrow level members are allocated (based on availability) in priority order within the group.

Away Game: The best seats at away game stadiums are determined by closest to the field and closest to mid-field. Rarely is FSU provided with “good” seats while playing on the road. Just like when visiting teams come to Doak, they are allocated corner/end zone tickets so our loyal season tickets holders have access to the mid-field seats. What is considered the best of the away stadium allotment are assigned by tier then by total points within the tier. The first tickets allocated will be closest to the field, closest to mid-field, then working outward and upward until the allotment is filled.

Neutral site game: Of the FSU allotment of seats, assignments will be made started with the highest priority seating area and or mid-field, and closest to the field then working outward and upward. Legacy and Platinum Chiefs will be seated first, by total points, then Golden Chiefs and Silver Chiefs, by points, then all other members.

Bowl Game/Playoff/Conference Championship: Of the FSU allotment of seats, assignments will be made starting with the highest priority seating area and/or mid-field, and closest to the field then working outward and upward. Legacy and Platinum Chiefs will be seated first, by total points within the tier, then Golden Chiefs and Silver Chiefs, by points within the tier, then all other members.

Football and Basketball Ticket Priority

Collegiate athletics programs like Florida State depend upon private donations to help balance their athletic budget. Like many other programs that use ticket priority as an incentive for donations, FSU has established a ticket priority policy to allocate football and basketball tickets as fairly as possible.

Doak Campbell Stadium and the Tucker Center are divided into priority sections. Tickets in the priority sections are reserved for those fans that help fund the athletics budget by supporting the Annual Fund.

The goal of the FSU Ticket Priority policy is to reward the loyalty of our long-time supporters while at the same time incentivizing new and increased giving while distributing season tickets equitably in terms of quantity and location.

Football Ticket Priority

The Florida State Priority Policy was established in 1979 to create benefits for Seminole fans wanting to help fund a nationally competitive athletics program and to provide an objective method for allocating highly-desired tickets and parking. The policy, which is administered by the FSU Athletics’ Board, rewards supporters who purchase season tickets and make private donations to Seminole Boosters, Inc., the fundraising arm of Florida State University Athletics.

Since athletics programs in Florida may receive no money from the State of Florida or from the University, operations must be funded with revenues earned or contributed. There are more than 17,000 Seminole Booster members who make annual contributions to provide Florida State Athletics with winning-edge funding for all 20 men’s and women’s sports

These Seminole Booster members purchase more than 40,000 season football tickets and enjoy ticket and parking priority.

Football Priority Policy

Minimum Contribution Requirement

The policy now sets a per-seat contribution requirement for each section. Seats on the West side of the stadium, which are in highest demand, have a higher per seat requirement than seats in equivalent sections on the East side of the stadium. Similarly, sections closest to the 50 yard line have a higher per-seat requirement than seats in sections farther from the 50 yard line. View the Doak Campbell seating chart for per seat requirements for each section of Doak Campbell Stadium.

Calculating per-seat requirement

A season ticketholder’s minimum contribution requirement will be determined by multiplying the number of seats purchased in a section(s) by the per-seat contribution requirement for that section.

Example: Bob and Mary have four seats in Section 30 with a minimum per-seat requirement of $325. Their membership requirement for those West side seats would be $1300 (4 x $325) which is at the Tomahawk level ($1300 to $3249) level.
Bob and Mary could choose to increase to a Silver Chief ($3250), Golden Chief ($6500) or Platinum Chief ($13,000) and enjoy the benefits and points at one of those levels.

Equity example: Larry and Betty choose four seats right across the stadium from Bob and Mary in section 13 on the east side. That section has a $200 per-seat requirement so their contribution would need to be $800 for those four seats which is in the Warrior range of membership ($650 to $1299). Larry and Betty could enjoy Warrior benefits or choose to contribute at the Tomahawk ($1300) or higher level but they are not required to.

Parking Priority

Football Parking Information

Parking lot permits are for the entire season. A map with travel directions and the location of the lot is on the back of the permit.

Cooking devices and tents must not interfere with neighbors, adjacent parking, or thoroughfare. The lot will be monitored and we reserve the right to terminate parking privileges for misconduct towards fellow boosters or parking personnel or misuse of the permit, or abuse during tailgating.

Permits must hang from your rear-view mirror as you approach the stadium and must be displayed the entire time you are in your designated lot. If the permit is not properly displayed, the vehicle may be towed.

Parking lots open five hours prior to kick off. There are exceptions during certain home games, and these will be announced ahead of time.

Lost permits, stolen permits, permits left at home or accidentally thrown away cannot be replaced.

Numbered Priority Lots: Your permit for a numbered priority lot gains access to a specific lot, within which you may select a space on a first-come first-serve basis. See chart below.

Parking assignments are as follows: Donors who renew at the same level are assigned the same lot as the previous year (Unless otherwise requested via e-mail or phone). New assignments (anyone changing membership levels) are based on spaces available in lots at that level.

Motorhome parking assignments will be posted by 5pm each Wednesday of a home game.

Vehicles over 20 feet in length will not be permitted to park in the regular Booster lots as they will not fit in the defined parking/tailgating areas. Golden, Platinum and Legacy Chief members with an oversized vehicle will be directed to Lot A to park in designated grass spots that are adjacent to the paved, reserved area. Warrior, Tomahawk, and Silver Chief members with an oversized vehicle will be directed to park in the Master Craftsman lot on Gaines Street. A valid 2016 Seminole Booster parking permit must be presented when arriving at the lot entrance and must remain displayed in the rearview mirror for the entire time you are in the lot. Parking in these lots is available on a first come, first served basis.
